Sounds like either the backlamp has gone out or the inverter is bad, or both. Try connecting your laptop to an external monitor (desktop type) via the avi output in the rear of your machine. If you get the video on the external monitor chances are one of the two things I mentioned previously are to blame. You can repair this yourself if you have some expertise, and your not feint of heart. Heres a link (although not specific to your particular model), but it does give you an idea what your in for.

Dell Inspiron B130 was black when turned on. Holding flashlight to screen, could see desktop and all icons. Was able to open programs, etc., while looking with flashlight. Replaced LCD Inverter listed for B130. It turned on fine, worked about 2 days, then started flickering, and went black again. Could this be power surge from motherboard, or backlight instead? By the LCD Inverter I purchased working for a couple of days, I felt like that was the problem, but something is knocking it out again.

My laptop screen had an odd color to it a few days & is black now
